Not a joke- mysayso.com
Just discovered this site while surfing Paypal: http://www.mysayso.com
FYI: according to Paypal, the owner of this web design business has had 200 paying customers to date! Don't know if they're all design-related, but stranger things have happened... Check out the "designs" that he's done; you'll laugh till you lose bladder control.

Oh but you've got to love the Hawaii-Five-O theme tune on the www.waukeshapolice.com site they "designed". Fantastic stuff!!
Anyhow - here is another personal favourite http://www.wagsites.com
I know the guy that designed it so i just got to say it is excellent !! Mark Castle

*gets motion sickness from all the movements on the page*
I wouldn't let them *pay me* to design a site for me. My younger sister could probably do something better in Frontpage and MS Paint

She'll even throw in the use of the blink tag as an added bonus free of charge to make your site even more alive!
Not to mention a free midi background sound of your choice. After all, that's the trend these days.

...but hey, she's obviously making a living from it so it might not be as bad as you think...
Some of ya are probably just "pissed" that someone actually paid her (not you!) for those "designs"! lol

BWA-HAHAHAHA! Love that Wagsites link. ROFLMAO!!!! I especially love the disclaimer at the bottom warning visitors that their site is best viewd at such and such resolution. Hello-- this site is best viewed never!
Yeah, that Hawaii Five Oh had me laughing, too. (I mean, UGH!!! WTF?? And lurv the marquee too, like everyone else here, lol.) But the one that really got me was http://www.oemsolutionsinc.com. I'm still crying over that one. Wait for the navigation to load on that so that you can check the rest of the pages!
Also check out http://www.liftandlube.com. This one shamelessly *borrows* the splash image and internal images from http://www.rotarylift.com. Aw, man-- when does the hurting stop??Last edited by mina_babe; 08-05-2002 at 11:55 PM.

I wonder if our good friends at ThyssenKrupp (who own Dover Elevator which in turns owns Rotary Lift) know about it.

But then again, if this guy is making good money off them, I say let 'em know, but, um.. *cough cough* discreetly...

You'll be surprised how much small local businesses are willing to pay just for a simple made-with-FrontPage web site.

They don't have much experience, so X Frontpage Designer tells them that it would cost millions to have a decent looking site so they settle for a half-baked Frontpage piece of rubbish.
Personally - I'd rather have a decent looking site or nothing at all. Admittedly I'm not the best at web design out there (but I'm certainly far from the worst) - but then again I don't do websites for other people
It's funny - you tell people you do work with computers - the first thing they ask is "web design?".

You're killing me with laughter... that http://www.mcg2000.com/websites.html is a classic.
I wasn't sure whether it was an advertisement for Tonka trucks or something else
The scrolling marquee and the "Welcome to Adobe Golive 5" really add the finishing touches - or the icing to the cake so to speak
I think I'd better go hire them immediately for my upcoming website project
